Several videos and pictures of SRK from the stands cheering for his team KKR went viral.
However, fans were not quite happy despite SRK's team winning, as they were of the view that King Khan should have been in Mumbai and stood by Salman in his turbulent time rather than enjoying the match.
A section of netizens also said that when SRK's son Aryan Khan was sent to NCB's custody for a day by a Mumbai court and was later arrested, Salman was the first actor to visit his house.
A user mentioned, "Salman was 1st person to lend support to srk during the Aryan Khan drug case n when Salman Khan was facing trouble srk was enjoying the match."
#ShahRukhKhan is enjoying today's match and his fans are joking about the incident that happened to #salmankhan residence. What a shameless behaviour by srk fans. Srk should at least call Salman bhai.

On the other hand, SRK gave preference to match rather than friendship.
Salman and Shah Rukh Khan's friendship dates back to the 1990s. They worked together in Karan Arjun and later in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. According to reports, they were not on talking terms after an incident at actor Katrina Kaif's birthday party in 2008. Reportedly, they patched up in 2013.
Meanwhile, SRK made a cameo in Tiger 3, while Salman made a cameo in Pathaan.

They are also touted to share the screen space in lead roles in the upcoming YRF Spy Universe film, Tiger Vs Pathaan.
